of trinity speaks about the Godhead which states that there is only one God but there are three
different representatives of the same God – The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. The
theory states that the one single God is represented by these three incarnations of God
himself. Although there are different views to Trinitarianism, which includes binitarianism
(one deity in two different individuals) as well as Modality Monarchianism (one deity in one
single individual). These various theories have always played an important role in the religion
of Christianity which has been followed by the followers of the particular religion from the
ancient times to the present day. This doctrine of the Trinity was first provided among the
early Christians as well as the preacher in the churches. Later, the doctrine got spread to other

religion which is to be diligently followed by all Christian people. Thus, it can be said that
Trinity is indeed an important part of the Christian religion.
